Last year, the event was a grassroots effort among a handful of doughnut-adoring friends that turned into a crowd of over 300 people.

With those numbers, this year's ride is adding a fundraiser element. Proceeds from the crawl will support Food For Life, a local non-profit that advocates for culinary education and training for low-income young adults.

Registration is $20 and includes a doughnut at each stop as well as a Donut Crawl spoke card.

But if you can't make it to the crawl, you still have a chance to dine on doughnuts.

Several area businesses are offering free doughnuts Friday. See their offers below:
